The last of the French kings traced to India

Balthazar Napoleon De Bourbon, an Indian residing in the city of Bhopal is being feted as the long-lost descendent of the Bourbon kings who ruled France from the 16th century to the French revolution.

A distant cousin of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, he is alleged to be not only related to the current Bourbon king of Spain and the Bourbon descendants still in France, but to have more claim than any of them to the French crown.
